We all know that the boardband services in Australia are like that of a backwater country, speeds of 256kbs, 512kbs are in some countries laughable, here that’s the average. Things like restricted bandwidth, shaped monthly allowances, crippled topend cable speeds, and limited upload speeds are all the norm in the “Lucky Country“.
A few weeks back I ran smack bang right into the mobile web.
Yeah I know the mobile web isn’t new. I have been able to access the web for a while from the crippled bandaid solution of WAP and all its problems, which Philipp Lenssen discusses a lot better than I can here. To the full on 3G version that is now available in Australia in limited areas. Problem is I don’t use it that much, you see I’m not often that far from a computer and I hate using the numeric keypad for complex URLs, okay I’m lazy.
